Where does one find an ortho who will do this?

I'm baffled that none of the orthos I've interviewed seem to understand how teeth get that way in the first place. Offended one of the office personnel by reflexively objecting to "it's genetic" (no, genetic change doesn't happen that fast, and all their grandparents had perfect teeth). But there's noplace around here with an even remotely holistic approach. I've asked. Like: do you at least do anything to address mouth-breathing or posture? (blank stares).

Do you even go to an orthodontist to get composite, or is that a dentist thing? Or do you have to contact some shady guy in a backalley somewhere...
